The Euler-Maruyama method for SDEs with low-regularity drift

Probability 2025-08-15 v1

Abstract

We study the strong LpL^p-convergence rates of the Euler-Maruyama method for stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion with low-regularity drift coefficients. Specifically, the drift is assumed to be in the Lebesgue-H\"{o}lder spaces Lq([0,T];Cbα(Rd))L^q([0,T]; {\mathcal C}_b^\alpha({\mathbb R}^d)) with α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1) and q(2/(1+α),]q\in (2/(1+\alpha),\infty]. For every p2p\geq 2, by using stochastic sewing and/or the It\^{o}-Tanaka trick, we obtain the LpL^p-convergence rates: (1+α)/2(1+\alpha)/2 for q[2,]q\in [2,\infty] and (11/q)(1-1/q) for q(2/(1+α),2)q\in (2/(1+\alpha),2). Moreover, we prove that the unique strong solution can be constructed via the Picard iteration.
